This IPA, packed with the juicy goodness of hops, is an homage to our flagship brewery in Lakeland, Florida. The town, most known for its 38 lakes, royal swans and endless citrus groves, was at its founding almost named Rome City. No one really knows why. So here's a beer to celebrate what almost was, for a reason no one knows.

Can, hazy orange, slight copper color. Smell of pine cones. Taste is typical bitter ass IPA. Yes, lots of on target IPA style in this one. Long lasting bitter, almost astringent effects. Nasty nellie. Yes, one big on style IPA. Sometimes tho, I think this comes across as a session IPA because of the low alky veggie cardboard characteristics that are hiding in the background. Long resinous finish. Typical for the domestic example of this style.

12 ounce can from a rando Publix, 6/23/22. Hazy orange, fine particles, large frothy tan head, good retention. Aroma of dank, toasted malt, grain, lemon, mango. Taste is pineapple, resin, green hops. Moderate bitterness. Nice.

Very crisp, golden and slightly copper coloured body wtih a large-bubbled, two to three centimetre tall, soapy off-white head that stays afloat for quite a while. Aroma of deep, very crisp and floral hop characteristics with flowers, grapefruit and pine all coming through. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very floral flavours dominate with a lot of alpha acids from the hops, all with a tiny bit of malt, but fairly understated, considering the style. Aftertaste shows some more pungent sugars with some caster sugar, light citrus fruits and a dry dose of flowers all at the end, with the nice bitterness, pungent hops and balanced malts. Overall, a very nice and crisp, fairly easy-drinking, yet bitter beer that hits nicely and keeps the alcohol relatively low for the style, while supplying good bitterness. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Publix in Miami, Florida a few minutes after arriving on 26-December-2020 for US$10,99 for a six pack, sampled in my hotel room here here in Sanibel, Florida on 29-December-2020.

Lime and decent malt. Light mango. Not a bad package all around, and might be better if it wasn't bought at Total wine and who knows how old. Golden hazy pour with cloud of lacing. Bitter finish. Some cereal. Can.

Well it’s a great recipe, nice dry crackery malts, clean. Hops bright, citrus and dank. What’s the catch? Astringent and cheesy, isovaleric acid leaves a funk in the finish, garbage-like, rotten tea leaves. Fortunately it’s mild enough that the beer is drinkable, but not enjoyable.
